United states disciplinary barracks fort leavenworth

​The new Disciplinary Barracks was completed in 2002 and is now a 515-bed facility which is considerably smaller than the original one which at one time housed more than 1,000 inmates. The USDB has operated since 1874.

The USDB is the US Military's only maximum security prison that houses male service members convicted at court-martial for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Female prisoners from all branches of the US Military are typically housed in the Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar, CA.

​Fort Leavenworth retains no military personnel records. When a person leaves the post, their records go with them or go to the National Personnel Records Center (address below):
